Rick Perry announced the for­ mation of a Governor's Homeland Security Task Force Monday, which will advise him on security matters concerning the state and reassur^ Texans of their safety. "I want people to know that they are safe in their homes and in their businesses," Perry said. The task force will be responsible for assessing the ability of the state and local agencies to respond to threats and to provide victim assis­ tance. They will also help coordinate security efforts being made on federal, State and local levels and formulate recommendations on ways to improve the state's ability to detect, deter and respond to any terrorist threat. Perry said while there are no known threats to Texas, more must be done to identify potential security threats. "The attacks on the World Trade Center made it abundantly clear that we cannot risk being complacent," Perry said. Perry named Texas Land Commis­ sioner David Dewhurst, a former G A agent and State Department official, as chairman of the 21 person task force. William S. Session of San Antonio, former director of the FBI and a for­ mer federal district judge, was named vice chairman. Other members in­ clude state legislators and senior pub­ lic officials, including Texas Adjutant Gen. Daniel James III, head of Texas National Guard. Chairman Dewhurst said that no task is of more importance than that of "protecting the security of all Texans" and applauded the security efforts that Perry and President Bush have implemented so far. "Sept. 11 changed America and changed our state forever," Dewhurst said. "A task force can help us return back to normalcy." The group will also be in charge of analyzing security issues along the Texas coastline and border and will work with neighboring state officials and Mexico on similar security issues. Perry urged Texans to remain calm See SECURITY, Page 2 VOL. 102, NO. 21 m m mam Aroun theWor.

UNITED NATIONS — New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, in a speech to the United Nations, said there was no room for "neutrali­ ty” in the global fight against terrorism and no need for more studies or vague directives. He said the.world body should ostracize nations that support terrorism and isolate nations that remain neutral. “The evidence of terrorism, brutality and inhumanity ... is lying beneath the rubble of the World Trade Center less than two miles from where we meet today,” Giuliani told assembled diplomats from more that 150 countries. Kashmir legislature attacked | j SRINAGAR, India — Suspected Islamic mil- j itants exploded a car bomb near the entrance j to the state legislature in Jammu-Kashmir on j Monday, then opened fire on security forces. At least 25 people were killed and 75 others wounded. Most of the legislators had left before the blast in the volatile northern Indian state’s summer capital, police said. A gunbattle continued inside the building five hours after the explosion, which shat­ tered the windows of a nearby hotel and in more than two dozen shops. High Court disbars Clinton WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court opened its new term Monday with a rebuke of former President Clinton, suspending him from practicing law before the justices. The justices gave Clinton 40 days to say why he should not be permanently disbarred from practicing law before them. A Clinton lawyer said the former president would argue that high court disbarment would be Inappro­ priate. The court did not explain its action, but Supreme Court disbarment often follows dis­ barment in lower courts. Court rejects profiling case WASHINGTON — Amid changing public attitudes about whether it is ever appropriate to seek possible criminals by focusing on their race, the Supreme Court rejected an appeal Monday from blacks who claimed police unconstitutionally targeted them. The court said it will not hear the claims of a group of young blacks in the upstate New York city of Oneonta that they were rounded up or questioned indiscriminately after a bur­ glary attack on an elderly woman in 1992. Compiled from Associated Press reports INSIDE Football fans find increased security measures lacking By Rachel Yates Daily Texan Staff The UT Police Department beefed-up security at Dane LI K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium Saturday for the first Longhorn football home game since the Sept. 11 attacks, but most fans noticed little difference. The new security regulations prohibited game patrons from carrying certain items into the stadium, including foodstuffs, large bags and electronic equipment cases. Event staff and security officers also visually inspected handbags, which prompted officials to open the gates two hours before the game started to allow for longer lines. But the lines were short, said Hector Parada, an unde­ clared natural sciences freshman. "It really wasn't much different," Parada said. "It was pretty much business as usual, they just checked people's purses." The implementation of increased security worked well, said Terry McMahan, l/TPD assistant chief. "Overall we did a good job, and we ensured the safety of ourUT fhns and the visiting team," McMahan said.

Josef Kas, a physics professor, and Jochen Guck, a physics graduate student, devel­ oped the Optical Cell Stretcher, a machine that measures die cell's condition, provid­ ing a way to detect cancer before symptoms become noticeable. "We believe it will basically revolutionize cancer diagnosis," Kas said. The technology has been licensed for development and commercial use to Evacyte, a local biotechnology start-up. The machine works by pulling cells through laser beams, which test the elas­ ticity of the cells' cytoskeletons — the structure of the cell that gives it stability. Cytoskeletons are weaker and more elas­ tic in cancerous and precancerous cells. Cytoskeleton elasticity could also deter­ mine the likelihood of the cancer spreading. The difference in elasticity potentially allows pathologists to distinguish between cells at risk of spreading — or metastasiz­ ing — and those that are local cancers. Because the machine is capable of detecting differences between varying cancer cells, “We believe it will basically revolutionize cancer diagnosis.” — Josef Kas, researcher, physics professor doctors may also be able to determine the extent the cancer has spread. "We firmly believe we will be able to stage [the cancer,] which will make treat­ ment much easier," Kas said. "If you know at which stage the cancer is in, you can come up with a much more refined method of treatment."

The measure was the only action approved in the committee consisting of Chairman Woody Hunt and Regents Cyndi Krier, Patrick Oxford and A.W. Riter, Jr. The measure would extend current compliance laws for state funds to the endowment funds. For example, if the University • Woody Hunt: received a $25 million donation, there's Chair of Finance and currendy nothing diat says that the Planning Committee University must follow the donors of Board of Regents wishes. Thus, the proposal would offer more accountability to donors by guaranteeing that endowments be used for the purposes agreed upon by the donor and System officials. Further, the University would be required to report back to the donors to ensure the funds were being used in accord with the donor's request, UT System officials said. The measure would also permit the System's component institutions to pay a fee to cover the manpower required to ensure compliance, but the component institution would be tree to select the level of the fee, at a maximum of .08 percent of a par­ ticular donation. While component institutions could opt to pay fees that would pay System officials to ensure compliance, their dona­ tions are immediately sent to U 1 Investment Management Company, which would quickiv make money on investment, said Michael Warden, UT System executive director tor public affairs.

"I am very pleased with how our state has responded." While some of the added security m eas­ ures will be quite visible, others will be less apparent, Perry said. "Some measures won't ever get public­ ity," said Gene Acuña, spokesman for Perry. Approximately 400 members of the National Guard are currently receiving training under the direction of the Federal Aviation Administration, said Capt. Paul M. Peceña, spokesman for the National Guard. They are set to be deployed to 27 air­ ports around the state by the end of this week. "Texas has a number of highly qualified individuals on this task force," he said. Acuña said the task force w as the prod­ uct of the governor's own initiative, and other states have already begun formulat­ ing their own task forces. The task force will be financed, in part, through federal grants from the Criminal Justice Division in the Office of the Governor. "The governor said that he does not anticipate a large cost," Acuña said. Although the task force has not yet announced when it will first meet, Perry said that he expects the process of receiv­ ing assessments and recommendations from the group to be expeditious. Burck issues request for permanent funds REGENTS, from 1 "It’s a smart way to use money," he said. "The fees end up coming out of the investment money, so the money [the institutions] would be paying with is monev made by the donated money." UTIMCO is a private corporation created in 1996 that manages the System's $15 billion endowment, including the PUF and the General Endowment Fund. In other business, UT Chancellor Dan Burck issued a recommendation to the Board of* Regents, requesting that $67 million be appropriated from the Permanent University Fund and allocated to six UT academic and two UT medical system institutions for the 2002 fiscal year. Burck advised the board to allocate $58 million to the academic institu­ tions and $9 million to two health component schools. The PUF provides money for the state's two largest public university systems — Texas and Texas A&M. The University, because it already receives a state-mandated 45 percent of the UT System's portion of the PUF, is not eligible for additional allocation requests. Also, the board heard a report on the Energy Utility Task Force — a team formed in February consisting of System officials and representatives from all the UT components — which recommended action that it said would save the system roughly $90 million over the course of a decade. "That is significant savings because we're not having to spend money on energy operating costs that could be used elsewhere," Warden said.

You're not going to get everything per­ fect," he said. But Adam Medina, a theater and dance senior, said the added security had little effect. "I thought it was pretty pathetic. I'm comfort­ able going to the game how it is, I don't think there's going to be any terrorism, but if they say they're going to have heightened security, they should do it," Medina said. Medina added that items in pockets went unnoticed by security. "They checked my [identification] and made sure it was me, but I could have had anything in my pockets, and no one checked," he said. Besides infringing on fans' freedom, the added security was pointless, said Jonathan Ferguson, a professional accounting graduate student. "A lot of the rules, like no bottled water, made no sense at all," Ferguson said. "Unless you're going to build a 747-proof domed stadium, don't waste your time." He added that the Sept. 11 attacks have caused Americans to become overly concerned about terrorism. "Politicians keep saying things like 'our free­ dom was attacked,' and 'freedom will prevail,' but the first thing they do is throw freedom out the window. It's like security at all costs, and that's not American at all," Ferguson said. The Federal Aviation Administration has pro­ hibited any type of aircraft from flying within a height of 3,(XX) feet above events of 3,000 people or more, said Roland Herwig, an FAA spokesman. Despite the ban, at least one airplane flew over the stadium during Saturday's game. "A s with all things, there are exceptions," Herwig said. Emergency vehicles, security planes, law enforcement aircraft and any aircraft in air traffic control space are exceptions to the no-fly rule. An Austin-Bergstrom International Airport spokeswoman was unable to say Monday whether the plane or planes that flew over the sta­ dium were in the airport's air traffic control space. UT receives grant for research efforts RESEARCH, from 1 Currently, no chemical test exists that can dis­ tinguish between metastasizing cancer cells and local cancer cells, so people diagnosed with can­ cer must undergo aggressive chemotherapy in case the cancer has spread, even if they only need a less intensive treatment. "What we want to do is have people who have cancer that has spread to get more aggressive treatment, and we want those who have local can­ cers to not have to go through that treatment," said Curt Bilby, chairman and CEO of Evacyte. If proven successful, the new technology could change the way lab tests, such as pap smears, are processed, providing same-day results rather than having to wait days or weeks. According to American Cancer Society esti­ mates, about 553,400 people will die of cancer this year. The society also estimates that about 81 per­ cent of people with early diagnosed cancers sur­ vive, and better early detection could raise that rate. Evacyte is currently developing a version of the machine to be used in clinical trials, in which sam­ ples will be tested using the new technology as well as conventional methods to ensure accuracy, Bilby said. The trials could take three to four years to satisfy U.S. Food and Drug Administration reg­ ulations. As part of the license agreement, the University will receive a $250,000 research grant, in addition to owning equity in Evacyte and receiving royalties from the use of the technology, said Renee Mallett, UT associate director of tech­ nology and licensing. The University grants about 20 licenses each year for research and technology, Mallett said. TEMS-0IMITVI Free Membership w/ Student ID!

But they had given Pakistan time to try to persuade the Taliban. Musharraf acknowledged Pakistan had nothing to show for its diplomatic campaign. Asked by BBC if the Taliban's days were numbered, he replied: "It appears so." Bush claimed progress in efforts to track down and neu­ tralize bin Laden and his followers. "It's a campaign that must be fought on many fronts, and I'm proud to report that we're making progress on many fronts," Bush said. He dted hundreds of arrests here and overseas in the investigation, international cooperation and initial success in seizing assets of bin Laden and his al-Qaida organization. "The evildoers struck, and when they did they aroused a mighty land," Bush said. "We will not be cowed by a few." In other developments Monday: •The administration made plans to announce this week the reopening of Washington's Reagan National Airport, the only airport still closed after the attacks. Officials said pri­ vately it would reopen under tightened security, including limits on flights and requirements for armed air marshals on those flights. •Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said America's armed forces are ready for the war on terrorism. He spoke at a ceremony honoring Army Gen. Henry Shelton, retiring as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Shelton cited "recent evil and barbaric attacks." •Bush said that in the week since he announced a move to freeze assets of bin Laden and 26 other individuals and organizations, some $6 million had been blocked and 50 bank accounts frozen, 30 in this country and 20 overseas. •H e also noted that some 29,000 American troops have been committed to the anti-terrorism effort. "This is a differ­ ent kind of war. It's hard to fight a guerrilla war with con­ ventional forces, but our military is ready," Bush said. As part of that effort, Bush approved assistance to groups with­ in Afghanistan that oppose the ruling Taliban militia. "The purpose of the mission is to eliminate those who har­ bor terrorists.... We will work with a variety of people, all of whom have an interest in establishing an Afghanistan that is peaceful and does not practice terrorism," said White House spokesman An Fleischer. The effort is separate from a United Nations humanitarian program to help Afghans overcome hardships, and from a new U.S. plan to help Afghan refugees who have fled to neighboring Pakistan. A senior White House official said the relief aid to refugees could top $100 million. Bush also used his speech to announce the arrest over the weekend of a man suspected in a 1986 attack by four gun­ men on a plane in Pakistan. The plane was en route from Bombay to New York. In the end, 21 people including two Americans were killed and nearly 200 injured in the assault. Bush said that while the individual arrested was not linked to the bin Laden organization, "he's an example of the wider war on terrorism and what we intend to do."

Explosives. Hand-to-hand com­ bat. Knives. And religious exhorta­ tions. The 11-volume Manual o f Afghan Jihad, or holy war, makes chilling read­ ing — a how-to guide to what it calls the "basic rules of sabotage and destruction." Most of the information can be gleaned from Internet Web sites, experts say, and another manual, writ­ ten for Muslim operatives abroad and not part of the 11-volume set, was dis­ covered last year during an investiga­ tion of Osama bin Laden. But intelligence analysts from two Western countries who read part of the Manual o f Afghan Jihad, and who spoke on condition of anonymity, said its highly technical detail, including dia­ grams, represents a new level of sophistication in the training appara­ tus of bin Laden's network. The volumes were obtained by The Associated Press from a former Afghan guerrilla who said he got them from a Libyan fighter. He said the Libyan, who had fallen out with his comrades, stole them in July from the headquarters of bin Laden's organiza­ tion in Kandahar, also the home base of Afghanistan's Taliban rulers. The preface to Mouswada al Jihad al Afghani, the Arabic name of the manu­ al, says it was compiled by "The Services Office of the Training Camps," and that this "Services Office" was founded by bin Laden. It is meant for use in the battle against "the enemies of our movement, the ene­ mies of Allah, for any Islamic group." Each volume begins with dedica­ tions to, among others, bin Laden, who "took part in jihad with his life and money in Afghanistan ... ; Abdullah Azzam, an Egyptian killed during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan; Islamic leaders in Afghanistan; and the people and government of neighbor- f e 2 DOZEN $ 19.95 I i If * ¡CASA VERDE FLORIST] CASH & CARRY DAILY SPECIALS.

In a chapter on "basic sabotage and destruction," would-be assassins are offered various options, including "poison-making, poisonous gases and poisonous drugs." They are instructed on specific plant life that can be used to make poison gas, how to make the gas, and what quantity is needed to kill a man. They are told that a room full of a particular odorless gas will kill someone in 30 seconds. The "armaments section" leads the reader through a virtual history of 20th century weaponry, from British Lee- Enfield rifles of 1928 vintage to the U.S.-made Stinger anti-aircraft missiles supplied to the anti-Soviet rebels in the 1980s. The first aid section offers advice on dealing with everything from bee stings and electric shocks to brain hem­ orrhages and typhoid. "This research is for all mujahedeen [holy warriors] in the world who are struggling to establish Islamic law wherever they are," says one passage in the manual "According to the Quran, you should fully prepare your­ selves to fight with your enemies. So wherever the mujahedeen are fighting, their training in explosives in neces­ sary."

The 11 volumes, ranging from 250 to 500 pages each, are written in Arabic, with occasional indexes in English. Excerpts were translated for AP. Each has a specific area of expertise. "What's your desire?" the text asks — then takes the reader step by step through the acquiring and mixing var­ ious explosive materials. Other sec­ tions tell how to blow up a plane, engage an armored vehicle, surround an airport or spy on a military base. A volume on hand-to-hand combat has a chapter on "how to threaten with a knife, piercing with a knife." In. the Sept. 11 terror attacks in the United States, in which bin Laden is the sus­ pected mastermind, hijackers were believed to have been armed with knives or box-cutters. In the chapter on security and intel­ ligence, the authors say that "in pre­ paredness for war, security and intelli­ gence-gathering of the enemy7 s power and strategy have been emphasized, Lawyers tell victims to wait on action By The Associated Press As they begin to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives, some of the thou­ sands left injured or bereaved by the hijack attacks are beginning to consult attorneys about how to gain some small measure of compensation for their loss. Lawyers' advice so far: Wait. Thaf s because of a big unknown — the shape and promise of a special fund Congress created to compensate people hurt and survivors of those killed in the attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the plane crashed in a vacant Pennsylvania field. Under ordinary circumstances, the survivors of plane crash victims sue the airline, and anyone else — makers of faulty equipment, for instance — who might be to blame. But the calamity of Sept. 11 was so extraordinary, and the prospect of legal tangles so immense, Congress devised the unlimited fund to streamline and simplify an ordeal that could take years. Indeed, lawsuits in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing are yet to be resolved. The fund was part of the airline relief package Congress enacted the week after the attacks. According to those who worked on the legislation and lawyers who exam­ ined it, the fund sets no limits; awards are to be based on lost income, suffering and other factors. But it also sets some barriers. Anyone who uses the fund may not sue the airlines, American and United, whose jets were turned into suicide missiles. Fund claimants unhappy with the amount they're awarded will have no place to turn. It's meant to be the last stop, with no possible appeal or jury trial. “I am advising people that there should be no race to the courthouse.” — Robert Clifford, aviation disaster attorney The law creating the fund also says that those who sue must do so in feder­ al court in New York. And the airlines can only be held liable for the amount of insurance cov­ ering each flight. That means that those who decline the fund and sue the air­ lines will hit a limit on how much any jury may award. The airlines repeated requests to disclose the insurance liabil­ ity coverage, but lawyers estimate it to be around $1.5 billion per flight. refused Additionally, as the legislation comes to fruition in the hands of government officials, it's all subject to interpretation and amendment. Claims will be handled by a "special master" a kind of judge, who Attorney General John Ashcroft will appoint. Who the appointee will be, where that person will preside and how claims will be dealt with are among myriad details still unknown. Even the claim form itself must be created. Already, there are disagreements, including whether charity given to sur­ vivors should be subtracted from money the special master awards them. "I am advising people that there should be no race to the courthouse," said Robert Clifford, an aviation disas­ ter attorney in Chicago and head of the American Bar Association's task force on terrorism and the law. "If you file a lawsuit today, you're not going to accomplish anything." 4 The Daily Texan October 2, 2001 T he Daily T exan Editor Marshall M aher Sertior Associate Editor Stephen Stetson Associate Editor Jason Hunter .Associate Editor Brian Wellborn Opinions expressed in /Tie Daily Texan are those of the editor, the Editorial Board or writer of the article lhev are not necessari­ ly those of the University admin­ istration, the Board of Regents or the Texas StucTent Publications Board of Operating Trustees. V IE W P O IN T A Price Tag On Grief? H aving dreary-eyed legislators draft plans in the early m orning hours is hardly prudent and reasoned public policy m aking. But th at's w hat happened in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks w hen C ongress created a special fund to com pensate victim s of the tragedy. The fund was designed in less than 24 hours, with final drafts still being com posed at 4 a.m. The victim s of the tragedy deserve to be com pensat­ ed This is undeniable. But assigning a dollar value to their im m ense grief and suffering is im possible. And even if the victim s w ere given a m assive infusion of m uch-needed cash, there's m ore to the congressional package than sim ply a com passionate reim bursem ent of the victim 's losses. In their rush to bail out the airline industry and pro­ tect it from litigation, C ongress tried to pre-em pt legal action through the assistance to victim s and their rela­ tives. The fund contains a clause that bars the victim from any legal action against the airlines in exchange for com pensation — essentially m aking it a taxpayer- funded bribe to not sue the airlines. The federal governm ent has now becom e the m ed i­ ator of law suits and pre-court arbiter of justice. If they airlines are still concerned about litigation costs after a $15 billion handout, then there is som e fina'ncial m ism anagem ent occurring. The airline com ­ panies should reveal how they are spending that m oney because it certainly w asn't used on severance packages or assistance for the m ore than 100,000 em ployees callously laid off in the past two weeks. The fund has its roots in goodw ill and em pathy for those who have suffered in the dreadful attacks. Again, the victim s deserve som e form of rem unera­ tion. They deserve help to rebuild their lives,, their hom es and to begin recouping their losses. But select­ ing one group of victim s to com pensate w hile com ­ pletely ignoring others is sim ply unfair. A ttorney General John A shcroft has already w arned that future terrorist attacks are inevitable. Are w e to assum e those victim s and victim s' fam ilies will also get a m illion dollars each in com pensation? Sen. Don N ickles, R-O kla., rightfully pointed out that victim s of the O klahom a City bom bing have been treated less than equitably by the federal governm ent since the incident. Victim s in New York have captured the national im agination, bu t their suffering at the hands of terrorists is no m ore or less significant than those in O klahom a City — or the 224 victim s of the 1998 em bassy attacks in A frica for that matter. Further clouding the seem ingly generous intentions of C ongress is that the m oney's allocation is depend­ ent on a new ly created position know n dubiously only as the "special m aster." This person will not be subject to Senate approval and is the final authority — w ho's decisions cannot be appealed to any court — in all m atters involving the fund. N everm ind the O rw ellian specter of "special m asters" dispensing billions of d ol­ lars with little, if any notice. The lack of accountability of the position will inevitably lead to conflicts in the future. Full disclosure is also im portant. Fam ilies should be m ade aware that accepting certain relief prevents them from having access other kinds of funds. A ll of this should be m ade explicit so that victim s don't seek help from one agency only to be denied by another because of it. C ongress could have created an agency to help bring som e oversight and infrastructure into the vast am ounts of aid being parceled out. The federal gov­ ernm ent can assist w ith m onitoring the alm ost count­ less am ounts of donations com ing in from charities, celebrity events and corporate donations. O versight and accountability — w ithout interfering in the affairs of private non-governm ental agencies — are crucial to ensure that funds are getting distributed equitably am ong the victim s. O ther groups, like the A m erican Institute of Philanthropy also act as w atchdogs for charity groups. It is critical not to forget local charities and their im portant role in our com m unity as we approach the holiday season. There are m any w orthy local causes that represent the spirit and com passion of this coun­ try as m uch as another donation to the N ew York vic­ tim s. It w ould be a sham e to have food banks and hom eless shelters in A ustin do w ithout because peo­ ple have already given all they can. GALLERY Opinion The art of quitting while you’re ahead By Seth Oldmixon Daily Texan Columnist Lawmakers should take a lesson from Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas. First elected to Congress in 1976 and now finishing his third term in the U.S. Senate, Phil Gramm furthered democracy in the United States when he chose to voluntarily retire from the Senate at the end of this — his third — term. The absence of mandatory term limits leads to some rather lengthy congression­ al careers. Sen. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1954. He's the oldest living senator at the impressive age of 98. Sen. Jesse Helms, R -N.C., has elected to retire at the end of his term this year. Jesse Helms is currently serving his fifth term as a U.S. senator at the spry age of 79. The GOP isn't the only party with members who refuse to leave the legisla­ ture, though. Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., entered long after Thurmond in 1958. He continues to repre­ sent West Virginians at the ripe young age of 84. the Senate not Why does this happen? Or better yet, why do people continue to re-elect candi­ dates for fifty years? If they weren't serv­ ing their constituents, wouldn't they lose elections? No. According to a 1998 Einer Elhauge pol­ icy analysis for the Cato Institute, serious problems exist with relying on election campaigns to oust ineffective legislators. When legislators can hold office indefi- Politicians set up fo r themselves a career o f easy power and access in which they become beholden to large money contributors rather than voters. nitely, power within the legislature is based on seniority. A senator who has been in office for 40 years has far more power than one who has only served one or two terms. This means that if s politi­ cally practical for constituents to continue electing their incumbent — regardless of how well he or she actually represents their interests. Power through incumbency does not mean that politicians will better serve those they represent. Corporations and large money special interest groups are far more interested in supporting long­ term incumbents because of the power and political access seniority provides. These interest groups, like the voters who keep re-electing incumbents, act in their own best interest by ensuring that they have access to the most power their money can buy. The ability to serve an unlimited num­ ber of terms further impedes new candi­ dates' access to office because while serv­ ing their term incumbents receive what is tantamount to free political advertising. legislators give Turn on C-SPAN any afternoon and you can probably see hours of video footage from the House and Senate floors. Here long-winded speeches to an empty chamber on topics varying from national interest to recogni­ tion of the chairman of the local chamber of commerce. Without the years of speeches, presen­ tations, photo-ops and news stories that come with public service, contender can­ didates must play catch up to their incum­ bent opponent through most of the elec­ tion campaign. By maintaining the idea that re-election will promise more clout, and thus better representation, politicians set up for themselves 4 career of easy power and access in which they become beholden to large money contributors rather than vot­ ers. At the backbone of our representative democracy is the notion that anyone can run for office and that the candidate who best represents his or her constituents will gain election. When we maintain a system in which a single candidate can control a seat in the legislature for half a century, we weaken our democracy. Getting anything done in Washington certainly takes a lot of time. Change comes slow in American politics and our democracy is stronger for it. Lawmakers do not require, though, 50 years to enact legislation. If they do, they are poor advo­ cates and should be replaced with a more able representative. It's time for candidates to be subject to real challenge in elections. It's time we took back the influence held by corpora­ tions looking for subsidies and pork and placed politicians responsibilities back in their districts. IFs time we told lawmakers that we're not going to stand for career politicians running the country in their best interests in lieu of those their sup­ posed to represent. It's time for congressional term limits. It's important for legislators to act hon­ orably and get in, fight hard and get out to make way for new members and new ideas — Phil Gramm should be a lesson to them all. The next step is for members of Congress to strengthen our democracy by ensuring that voters have a real choice in their representatives by codifying in law a reasonable limit on congressional terms.

While I realize graffiti is nothing new, I always remember it as a decidedly middle-school thing and unbecoming in the university setting. While I appreciate the sentiments of my fellow university students who are opposed to military action out of princi­ ple. I must confess some disappoint­ ment as to how some of these people express themselves. I have seen these people rally. And I don't know if they have started petitions. But between the Green Party and other pacifist groups, do they not have the funds to put up posters or distribute fliers? Are they so devoid of cash that they can barely afford the chalk to scribble out a simple statement like kindergartners writing on the sidewalk? I realize that the hallmark of pacifism is nonviolence, and graffiti — chalk or otherwise. — is not violent. But I think that Gandhi and Martin Luther King would flinch at the cowardice of these vandals, for it depicts an otherwise noble movement as simplistic, naive and childish. Michael R. Saberian History senior W r ite T o U s THE FIRING LINE Missing the point Distant from whom? about debate I think that it is interesting there is so President much Faulkner's response to comments made by Prof. Jensen. Unfortunately, I think most of these posts are missing the boat. What I believe to be most important is the "adm inistration's" undermining of Jensen's academic pro­ fessionalism. ~ The 40 Acres is supposed to be an academic sphere that promotes diverse thinking. Faulkner's letter served as a tool of censorship — a strategy to frag­ ment and deter discussion amongst fac­ ulty, staff and students on current issues such as terrorism, war, anti-Arab racism, and protection of civil liberties. The effect of such a letter could be dev­ astating to academic discussion. Why would professors want to discuss con­ troversial issues, when the President of the University could— and has empiri­ cally — spoken out to delegitimize those who are asserting their opinion on current events? Bob Jensen's letter was an exercise of academic professionalism that refused to stand complacent (unlike Faulkner's demands of "business as usual"), and forced its readers to re-evaluate the United States' role in creating motives for the terrorist attacks. Even if readers disagreed with its content, readers were engaged to think from an alternative perspective. The faculty, staff, and student body should not fear the administration and its cen­ sorious attacks ... they should fear apa­ thy. Ben Durham African-American studies sophomore If President Faulkner would like to send a letter to the editor of the Austin- American Statesman assuring its con­ stituents that the opinions of Marvin Olasky are not the opinions of the University of Texas, then this would prove to all and sundry that he was doing his duty so far as Professor Jensen's controversial editorial is con­ cerned. However, if he does not like­ the wise distance himself University the opinions of "Misguided Marv," then is he guilty of applying the dreaded double standard, and he must accept the applicable title of hypocrite. from and Need I further point out that even the Supreme Court had determined that unpopular opinions are vital to this country in their decision concerning the People vs. Larry Flynt? Jeff Burke UT staff Ask Fred about buses Metro's new operations chief, Fred Gilliam, will be riding your bus to find out what improvements are needed! Excellent. Hopefully, he'll catch it with you on Wickersham Lane or in West Campus. You'll have plenty of time to ask him questions, while you watch full bus after full bus, pass your stop. When you do get on, maybe he'll be standing next to you, and you can ask him why the bus is so old and raggedy. If you don't get to ask the new chief, the answer is that Capital Metro is hoarding money that it could be spend­ ing on a bus for light rail. They are squirreling away millions of tax dollars in anticipation of a court ruling involv­ ing Gilliam's ex-employer, Houston Metro. Houston Metro wants to build a light rail system even though the voters have said no. They contend that they don't need voter approval if they don't issue new bonds for the project. If they win, they will build light rail with tax dollars that they have collected, but not spent — no matter what the voters say. If they win in court, this paves the way for Capital Metro to do the same thing here. Capital Metro has your money, and it could be spent on a new bus. Today. There would even be enough left over to fix Nueces Street. The reason it isn't happening is because, even after we told them no, they are saving this money for a light rail project that will be finished 25 years from now.

OKIOS1 1 A ) W I \ M W K \ S tate& L ocal Garcia announces bid for mayoral election T h e Daily Th ai October 2, 2001 By Eric Garza Daily Texan Staff Former Mayor Pro Tem Gus Garcia officially announced Monday at Auditorium Stores he will be running for mayor of Austin. "I am running for mayor because I think its time to plan the next steps for Austin's future," Garcia said amidst friends and family. "And I want to be a mayor focused on the future" Garda, 67, has also served as an Austin City Council member as well as school board presi­ dent of the Austin Independent School District. If elected, he would become the first elected Hispanic mayor of Austin. Garcia said that in light of the tragedies in New York and Washington, D.C., public safety will be one of his first priorities. "I think it will be the first priority of every mayor in the country. I think people have been shaken up a little bit, but I think we're going to come out stronger" Garcia said. "And whether it's protecting our citizens and the city's infra­ structure or reducing crime, we have a right to make sure Austin is up to the challenge. Our d t­ izens have a right to feel safe in our community." To alleviate traffic congestion caused by con­ struction, Garcia said he will support the cre­ ation of a new transportation spedalist position at City Hall. He added that he will focus on what the dty can do to help small- and medium-sized busi­ nesses to succeed since they are the backbone of Austin's economy. A certified pubic accountant for 30 years, Garcia said he has the experience needed to maintain fiscal responsibility for the dty of Austin during "these tough economic times." "I was bom in the depths of the Depression and I grew up during World War n, so I know about these things, and I think I have the expe­ rience that is necessary for us to address the problems we face and come out successful," he said Garda said that even though the Qty Council has done much to protect the environment, more should be done. "If we do not act now we run the risk of los­ ing Barton Springs and the aquifer within this generation," Garda said. "And I don't want to be a part of a generation that destroys the won­ derful assets we have in this dty. Future genera­ tions will judge our stewardship on whether we squandered or preserved Austin's natural legacy." Garda concluded his mayoral announcement by saying there will be an open door policy at the mayor's office. "Ask anyone that knows me and they wall tell you, with me, what you see is what you get, and some people may think that sounds a little funny because I'm 67 years old and presumably I don't have enough energy — I do." Former City Council member Willie Lewis said Garda is a good candidate and will do well in the mayor's office because of his vast expen- ence as an elected offidal. "I think he'll be a good mayor," Lewis said. "He knows a lot of people, and the people know him. He's been involved in the dty for a long time. I think his knowledge of the [dty] process will get him elected." City council members are prohibited to com­ ment on Garcia's bid for mayor because of a clause in the dty's charter that discourages them from doing so. THE GREAT PUMPKIN Mexicans without new ID turned away at U.S. border By The Associated Press McALLEN — About 2 million Mexicans failed to convert their border-crossing cards into new high-tech IDs by the Oct. 1 deadline, and hun­ dreds were turned back M onday when they tried to get into the United States. Some said they were unaw are of the cutoff date for getting the new "laser visas," while oth­ ers said they had been expecting the U.S. govern­ ment to grant an extension, as some members of Congress have requested. The new ID cards are required along the 1,962- mile-long lJ..S.-Mexican boundary in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Lopez Flores, 66, traveled four-and-a-half hours from the interior town of Aldama, Mexico, so she could go to JC Penney in McAllen to buy a new pair of glasses. "They told me this wasn't good anymore. I had no idea," Flores said, shocked, as she held up her passport. One Texas entry point had turned away about 200 people since midnight, border officials said. In Arizona, about 100 people were turned back from the state's seven ports of entry during the first half of said Russell Ahr, Immigration and Naturalization Service deputy district director. the day, "The awareness of the new card is greater than we probably expected, and the inconvenience has been minimal," Ahr said. Congress mandated the use of the new cards in 1996 but has extended the deadline at least twice. About 5.5 million of the old permits, which look like a driver's license, w ere issued. The new ones arrive 60 to 90 days after they are applied for and feature fingerprints and data encrypted in magnetic strips, which officials hope can pre­ vent fraud and forgery. The cards permit Mexicans to enter the United States and travel within 25 miles of the border for up to 72 hours at a time, and are important to cities like McAllen, which in the past decade have exploded with strip malls and theme restaurants catering to residents from both countries. Some border points still lack the machinery to read the cards. W ithout the machines, U.S. authorities must eyeball them the same way they did the old ones, in essence rendering the new security features meaningless. The State Department, which issues the cards, has asked Congress to extend the deadline again, but lawmakers have yet to vote on it. Rep. George Gekas, R-Pa., and Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., chairmen of the House and Senate im m igration subcommittees, support another extension. In a letter marked urgent and sent to President Bush on Saturday, Rep. Solomon Ortiz, a Democrat from Corpus Christi, predicted "a major disruption in the commerce of the entire southern border" if an extension was not grant­ ed. He said the lack of equipment made such an order especially important. For Blanca Guevara de Arias, Sunday was the last chance for a long while to walk over the foot­ bridge to the United States and shop at discount stores that offer bulk toilet paper, tortilla chips and generic canned cola. She usually makes the trip over every 15 days. But now she must wait two months until the paperw ork for her new laser visa is processed.
